Me too about the translation, that's why I want to be sure. ;-) Maybe you 
can insert/state the license (some incarnations of CC, GFDL, ...) in the 
document?

You're welcome. :-) I hope other Germans will provide me with some 
feedback, so I can improve the translation. Although I tried to be as 
close as possible to the English document, some paragraphs needs a strict 
proofreader. It is always a good idea to let someone else proofread the 
whole text. That's why I stated it as "preliminary".

That's a good idea!

Sure, no problem. No need to hurry. 
I modified the original stylesheets a bit so it is more language 
independent. If you are interested, use the following URL to download my 
modifications:

When I changed the above stylesheet I missed some localized text from the 
common directory. Funny, there is an editor key, but no author(s). Maybe 
we could think of inserting some words like "author", "translator", etc. 
into the language files. But that's a minor issue.

I have already an account, it's "tom_schr". Thanks, Jirka! Actually, this 
is what I thought too, but I didn't dare to ask. ;-)


Thanks,
Tom
